signments on the insurance certificates
upon the life of his sister, to secure the
money for himself. A great deal depends
upon the finding of the pocket diary in
which it is said Benhayon kept notes of
the progress of his crime But it is I'M
reasonable to suppose a criminal to have
jotted down evidences against himself day
by day. yet if he was the crank it is said
he was, Benhayon may have done this
foolish thing. just as he may have sup
posed he could secure money on the insur-
ance certificates upon his sisters life by
some means, and that he did kill her with
that hope, however absurd it may have
been to entertain it. But there is a deep
mystery about two strange men having
rented the room in which Benhayon was
found dead, and also in the story told of
Benhayon with man and a woman being
seen IN front of the house, the two urging
the young man to enter and he resisting,
but finally conscnting. AS the matter now
stands it is impossible to form any positive
Judgment. The one thing certain and
undeniable about the case is that if a story
only one-half as involved were put into
dramatic form and presented upon the
stage, men would declare it to be the widest
fight of a fevered fancy, and not only
wholly improbable but that it would be
the hight of absurdity to imagine such sit
uations possible in real life.

THE MYSTERIOUS CASE.

The Bowers-Benhayon case is involved
IN deeper mystery STILL The theory is
now advanced that Benhayon was forced
TO write the confession that he murdered
Mrs. Bowers, and was then poisoned and
left to die in the room where his body was
found. There must be a motive for the
act of rational being. What motive
could inspire enc to such deed as This
theory assumes to have been committed ?
clearly only the hope of saving the life
OF the condemned DR.. Bowers. But it is
lnconceivable that except for large sum
of money an assassin could have been hired
who would be adroit and skillful enougb
to carry out such a plot successfully.
Bowers Is not now wealthy man-not
even having ordinary pocket money. If
coin was not the motive for the conspiracy
ana murder, then it must have been friend
snip, and 1t remains to be shown that Bow
ers has friends so devoted as to coucoct
and execute such diabolical plan. The
theory, therefore, that Benhavon was
murdered lacks strength, and vet it is nos
slole that 1t Is true. On the other hand
Benhayon was not well balanced mentally
and was just the man to do as If was al
hrst supposed he had done-take his own
life to escape the whip of conscience. rs
Stunning that the paper left for the Coroner
Is his confession. But there is not apparent

Another theory is said to have the basis

THE DOUGLAS SCHEME.

Referring to Fred Douglas chimerical
scheme for solving the NEGRO problem"
by importing Chinese labor to bear the
burden of labor now put upon freedmen,
the st. Louis Gtobe-Democrat well says:
The sober and practical truth is that the sal
yallon OF The freedmen can be worked out only
Dy themselves. There is no short cut for them
10 condition of perfect comfort and content
ment. The ills by which they are bcset cannot
possibly be overcome by any process of relief

ing TO great extent. or it will not he done at
all and the sooner they make rD their minds
10 thls TACT the sooner will they begin to make
substantial and satisfactory Roadway against
adverse influences.
No people were ever lifted up from lower
levels by any process that did not include
gradual progression through intellectual
enlargement and realization of the posi-
biiitieS Of self-eflort. The freedmen could
not receive benefit by being made COM
petltors with a race of workers who can
outbid them in the Iessened demand for
the means of subsistence. Free labor was
never yet brought into contact with labor
of lower order without sinking toward
Its level. The freedman unquestionably
rests under peculiar disabilities, due to
traditional race prejudice, and to his lack
OF knowledge and inability to acquire it
rapidly in social atmosphere that is an
tagonistic to his advancement. Neverthe
less he has progressed, is progressing and
must continue to advance in intelligence
and independence. Mr.. Douglas sadly
mistakes the Chinaman, too if he mag
ines for a moment that he would be content
to occupy position subordinate to the
negro. On the contrary, it would not be
long before he would be the employer of
the freedman, after having displaced him
in every line of labor for which he is at
present qualified The amazing thing
about Douglas expression is, that one
whose race has just emerged from a condi-
ton Of slavery should soberly propose to
establish a system that in every respect is
a slavish one. Coolieism in the United
States represents slavery in but slight
degree removed from that which was once
an institution Of this country.

The army Of unemployed people parad-
ing in London must command the more
considerable attention of the English Gov
eminent and the philanthropists than it
appears to be doing just now. When an
English multitude of unemployed, twelve
hundred strong, throngs into Westminster
Abbey, and interrupts the services Of wor-
ship with 4 demand for work, it is time for
the authorities to do something more than
dispense the crowd and to preach to it of
the hope of charitable relief 1t is not
now the time, on the threshold of winter
to pause to inquire into the causes of des-
titution. Doubtless, they are largely
due to improyidence and intemperance
The question n London is not one of
sociology or political economy now, but of
humanity. These people and their
families must not be permitted to starve.
The police have already ceased all at
tempts to prevent their holding meetings
in public places and the result has been
the cessation of violence. The policy of
repression, except where murder, arson and
pillage are preached, is bad one and
tends the more to inhame the discontinued,
When the necessities of these human be-
lngs have been provided for, it will be
found that Socialist and Anarchist meet
ing5 will be abandoned by the workers.
There undoubtedly are many lazy, drink
ing and vicious men, and professional Grim
lnals among those who parade as unem-
ployed, but there are unquestionably
many honest suffering men whose phvsi-
cal needs are great which they cannot
supply, and by reason of which they are
really suffering. To leave these to be
influenced by contact with the criminal
and Anarchist elements is bad policy. To
separate them out is wise. The question
of the wisdom of a State supporting men
out of hand, and thus rendering them less
selt-helpful, is,not now to be considered in
London, but the broader and more humane
question of relieving absolute want, and
of putting honest workers back into the
ways of labor, until the season of distress
is tided over.

ITS A LIE."-Last week we saw Penn.
sylvanian in the museum of our State
Board of Trade, who was shown corn,
wheat, rye, barley Egyptian corn, alfalfa
raisins, dates, figs, oranges, lemons, pome-
granates, peaches, apricots, prunes and
apples, all raised in perfection on the same
farm in Central California. The substan-
tial native of the Keystone State looked
over this exhibit and his honest soul rose
up in arms, and he simply said Its a
- lie. He declared that he knew the
kind Of country that grows wheat and it
would not produce those other things ex-
cept by miracle. \ gentleman connected
with the Board offered to pay his fare out
and back to where he could see all those
crops growing side by side, and then he
surrendered, and did it gracefully, but with
the declaration that a country that can
